Abstract

Background At the turn of the century, over one‑third of total hip arthroplasties comprised metal‑on‑metal bear‑
ings. As this patient population and their implants age, it is crucial to understand associated late failure modes
and expected long‑term functional outcomes. We report the long‑term results of a large metal‑on‑metal unce‑
mented total hip arthroplasty system with unique design characteristics compared to others that have been reported
with high failure rates.… Read the rest

Dr. Gross discusses the new ceramic on ceramic hip resurfacing devices and compares them to metal on metal hip resurfacing devises. His summary conclusion:

ReCap™ Magnum™ by Biomet

Hip Resurfacing at Surface Hippy Posted on by

The ReCap® Femoral Resurfacing System replaces the diseased surface of the femoral head and is designed to restore the normal anatomy and biomechanical function of the hip joint.

The major advantage of the ReCap® Femoral Resurfacing System is its conservative nature. By avoiding medullary canal intrusion, it preserves valuable femoral bone stock, making it a bone-preserving alternative to total hip arthroplasty. A 2006 study published by Girard, J. et al. in the Journal of Bone
